UK Memes

They're just a bunch of assholes, to be succinct.

To give more detail, they are tankies who claim a far-left ideology. It's like lemmygrad but a bit more crazy. But what's really weird is that they're very pro LGBTQ+, but at the same time support Russia (who have outlawed being gay).

Hexbear mods are pretty unhinged, in my experience. They ban people for saying anything they disagree with, usually making extraordinary claims in the modlog to justify, which in no way relate to the comment they ban. Don't you dare suggest that Hamas was wrong to kill Israelis on 7 October, that's genocide apologia!!

I also wonder if there's a strong astroturfed element there. Like, they're trying to sucker people in to an extreme ideology.

Edit: Their modlog can be quite entertaining. It seems like they've toned down slightly, but I still didn't have to go that far to find claims of genocide support.

It also almost seems like they've purged their modlogs somewhat, as you see less detail the further you go down - although I expect that's actually a lemmy bug (I've seen similar looking at user profiles). If you look at the modlogs for individual communities you might see more. However, I'd warn you that spending time there simply isn't good for your soul.

When you roll around with pigs, you'll both get covered in shit. The difference is the pig likes it. /pig_shitting_png_they_always_post
